Sam in Full Color

Sam in Full Color Formally The Maple Blonde. Creating art from drawings, paintings and handicrafts. I’ve found a joy in drawing again. I haven’t stopped crocheting either.

What started as a little hobby for crochet hats and scarves, transformed into custom drawings of homes. After my husband requested a drawing of our home and posting a completed image of it, a few friends requested some drawings of their own. From word of mouth and working on an updated version of that home, requests for Christmas gifts came in. I studied art in high school and college, but hadn’t

picked up a pencil in nearly a decade. Being able to put my heart and soul into each picture fills me up more than anything has in quite some time. The commissions are great gifts for a new home, your first home, or the home you grew up in. I hope that when you reach out to me, you know it’ll be drawn to match the personality for whom it’ll be given to. Hats and scarves are a fun break to get my hands moving. Thanks for stopping by. I look forward to working with you.

A little (big) change to the Print Club 💌

I’ve been thinking about what I want this little club to be, and more than anything, I want it to be something more people can enjoy.

So I lowered the membership from $15 to $10/month.

You’ll still get a brand-new art print delivered to your mailbox every month, and if you join now, October’s print will be your first one. 🍂

Because in a world that feels so expensive, I really believe happiness shouldn’t have to be.

A little art. A little happy mail. Something to look forward to each month.

The Print Club is officially relaunching at $10/month. 💌

This has been a great way to try new techniques, ideas for future pieces, and just practice.

Would you collect these?

☀️ Sun on your face.
Sand in your toes.
Refreshing water to cool down in.

It’s summertime baby! This June print is to represent the many beaches of our Fresh Coast✋🏼With five Great Lakes, Michigan borders four of them.. more freshwater coastline than any other state. This means so many areas to access the beach 🏖️

Do you have a favorite beach you love to visit during the summer months? LMK in the comments!

There is still time to join the print club to get July’s print mailed 💌 directly to YOU. Or give me your guess what the July Print will be.

It’s Mackinac time.

May’s print features downtown Mackinac Island. Where only bikes and horses get you around the island. A summer travel destination.

What do you think June’s will be?

If you’re trying to find a gift that actually means something, here are a few ways to do it differently this year:

A custom drawing of her home.
A piece of art made just for her.
Or a print subscription that keeps showing up long after Mother’s Day is over.

Something she doesn’t just receive… but lives with.

💛 Print Club is open now for Mother’s Day gifting + 10% off your first subscription. Ends 04/30!
💛 Custom home portraits are also available to order.

((swipe)) What I painted vs the reference.

Art isn’t meant to be an exact replica. It’s interpretation. Making feeling visible.

What feelings come up for you?
